Passive Wheelchairs

Passive chairs have multiple positioning adjustments to promote improved comfort for users that spend a significant amount of time in a wheelchair. They offer a greater degree of postural support. They have all the adjustments of other wheelchairs with soft cushions for optimal comfort. Our passive comfort chairs include Rea Azalea and Action 3NG Comfort.

Powered Wheelchair options:

Powered wheelchairs are often suitable for those who don’t have the upper body strength to propel a manual wheelchair. They offer an excellent mobility range without the exertion of self-propelling. They can be modified and adapted to suit different disabilities and requirements so they can support you now and in the future.

Indoor & Outdoor Power Chairs

The power chairs are highly configurable, which means they can be adapted and modified to your requirements. They are capable of indoor
use as they have a tight turning circle, but enable outdoor use as well. Suspension, as well as various seating options, including the
JAY range*,
are available. Our indoor & outdoor power chair range features
Spectra XTR2 and the popular
Salsa M2.

Compact and narrow, our indoor power chairs have a tight turning circle and manoeuvre easily when travelling indoors through narrow doorways. Various adjustments and modifications are available, which our Wheelchair Specialists can guide you through. These wheelchairs have limited outdoor ability. Our range includes the Hula and Pronto M41.

Outdoor Power Chairs

Using advanced suspension and shock absorption, our outdoor power chairs are easily able to tackle various terrains
and can manoeuvre over every day obstacles such as kerbs. They have some indoor capabilities but their strength
is in coping with the outdoors and offering a comfortable ride. We sell outdoor power chairs such as
the Jive range and Storm 4 Xplore.
